"The marriage is better than I expected," Norman said at the time. "We have a mutual respect for each other, and I love taking her a cup of coffee each morning ... We are compatible and like many of the same things. It is easy to be happy."

Added Evert, "At this stage of our lives, Greg and I are every comfortable with each other."

In addition to spending time with each other, the couple also expressed they were looking forward to a large blended family. (Norman has two children from a previous relationship, and Evert has three sons with ex-husband Andy Mill)
